Dictionary Of Uncomfortable Words What To Avoid Saying In Polite (or Any) Conversation

Realizing a dictionary was necessary to alert the public, they created The Dictionary of Uncomfortable Words. Each word is followed by a brief explanation of why it makes people uneasy when spoken, such as: - Abhor: Looks innocuous enough on paper but utterly filthy when spoken aloud.- Bull: In most circles, this word is merely a prefix. We prefer the term "man-cow."- Congeal: Just because gooey becomes crusty doesn't mean we want to hear about it.- Crotch: This word is disturbing even when referring to trees.- Dingleberry: This is one fruit you don't want to eat.- Half-cocked: Sounds like a circumcision that went too far.- Horehound: A drunk with too much money in his pocket on Saturday night.Witham, Andrew is the author of 'Dictionary Of Uncomfortable Words What To Avoid Saying In Polite (or Any) Conversation', published 2004 under ISBN 9781581824278 and ISBN 1581824270.
